A Dallas woman faces charges of endangering a child and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after police say she asked a child to retrieve a gun during a domestic dispute.

Police received a 911 hang-up call from an apartment in the 2300 block of North St. Augustine Drive in Pleasant grove about 1 a.m. Sunday. When they arrived, Cortaveus Sheppard told officers that he and his wife of two years, Shante Guiton, got into an argument because Guiton wanted to have sex but Sheppard said he was too tired after drinking for most of the day, according to the arrest warrant affidavit.

Sheppard said Guiton, 32, became irate and threw a glass container and a butcher knife at him but missed, according to police records. She then told a five-year-old girl, who had walked in on the argument, to retrieve Sheppard's gun. The child obliged and gave the pistol to Guiton, who pointed it at Sheppard, police documents state. Sheppard said he pushed Guiton into a nearby wall in self-defense, causing her to drop the pistol, which he threw into some bushes.

The arrest warrant affidavit states that Guiton "appeared intoxicated" and she admitted she had been drinking since 5 p.m.

Guiton, whose name is listed as Shante Sheppard on the affidavit, was booked into the Dallas County Jail. Her bail is set at $30,000.
